>Description:
Trying to do IPsec without IPv6 set up.  I added the following to
/etc/rc.conf (IP addresses beaten up):

} ipsec_enable="YES"
} gif_interfaces="gif0"
} gifconfig_gif0="123.102.201.6 205.15.252.155"
} ifconfig_gif0="inet 172.30.166.128 netmask 255.255.255.192 192.168.1.1 netmask 255.255.255.0"

ipv6_enable is *NOT* set in rc.conf; I don't really want to fiddle
with that stuff yet.

On bootup, the gifconfig stuff only happens (in rc.network6) if
ipv6_enable is on.  However, gif interfaces are useful in more places
than just ipv6.


>How-To-Repeat:
Add a gif_interfaces list to rc.conf, observe that gifconfig doesn't get
run during startup.

>Fix:
Move the gifconfig out of rc.network6 into rc.network in some appropriate
place.
